PurposeTo确定的特点和个人的经验，有助于黑人男性的成功被录取，并从medicalschool.MethodIn 2010年，作者之一，一个黑人男子，采访了10名黑人男性医学生就读于佛罗里达州立大学医学院和3名黑人男性医生与该学校，使用一致同意的定性研究方法来分析数据。调查人员记录和转录的采访，编码，以确定主题，并确定了一个总体的理论construction.ResultsThe作者确定了六个广泛的贡献者成功录取和完成医学院：社会支持，教育，暴露于医学领域，群体身份，信仰和社会责任。这六个类别随后被分为四个主要主题：教育经历、接触医学、心理社会文化经历以及个人属性和个人感知。表（成功）的比喻，四条腿（四大主题）说明了复杂的动态，有助于success.ConclusionsThe黑人男性的成功和成功的因素，有助于指导这项研究。结果加强了黑人男性的成功是通过教育经验，接触医学，心理社会文化经验，个人属性和个人观念之间的平衡来实现的结论。这些信息可以被医学院用来加强他们的推广计划，为讨论和研究提供理论构建，并为未来的定量研究提出问题。
PurposeTo determine characteristics and individual experiences that contribute to black men's success in being admitted to and graduating from medical school.MethodIn 2010, one of the authors, a black man, interviewed 10 black male medical students enrolled at Florida State University College of Medicine and 3 black male physicians associated with that school, using consensual qualitative research methodology to analyze the data. The investigators recorded and transcribed the interviews, coded them to determine themes, and identified an overarching theoretical construct.ResultsThe authors identified six broad contributors to successful admission to and completion of medical school: social support, education, exposure to the field of medicine, group identity, faith, and social responsibility. The six categories were subsequently grouped into four major themes: educational experiences, exposure to medicine, psychosocial-cultural experiences, and personal attributes and individual perceptions. The metaphor of a table (success) with four legs (four major themes) illustrates the complex dynamics that contribute to success.ConclusionsThe success of black men and the factors that contribute to that success guided this study. The results reinforced the conclusion that success for black men is achieved via a balance between educational experiences, exposure to medicine, psychosocial-cultural experiences, and personal attributes and individual perceptions. This information can be used by medical schools to strengthen their outreach programs, provide a theoretical construct for discussion and research, and generate questions for future quantitative studies.
